Editor Labor Enquirer.
In your Issue Of the eleventh inst. you
ask the above question. do not think be-
cause you have not heard from us that We
are either dead or sleeping.
Since. You visited us there has been
moving spirit in the valley, a fall I might
say; we have been clearing away the de-
bris and have just reached the coal face;
we have set the wedge and G. Parks, our
worthy, secretary, is welding the sledge
with some effect.
His services have already been to the
miners in this district as a beacon to the
way-strayed traveller.
Where men in their ignorance were do
ing things they ought not to do, where
men through disunity were compelled to
work without any remuneration for it, he
has pointed cut to each his error and
given each to understand that in seeking
to rectify grievance he has the sympa-
thy and support of the whole of the
miners in this district.
I hope that every workingman in
Boulder county will recognize that in
Parks they have standard-bearer; that
they will rally round him and see that
Justice, the emblem of the flag which he
bears, be not effaced by any underhanded
or dirty act.
A meeting of the coal operators and
representative miners of Marshall, Erie
and Louisville was held in the school hall
in Louisville on Sunday last for the pur-
pose of considering how to make the best
of the commodity which they Jointly pro-
duce. The meeting terminated peacably,
and any one who was there could not be
otherwise than interested in the whole
proceedings, as the workmen frankly
spoke out the difficulties they had to con-
tend with on their part; while the opera
tors expressed their willingness, where
they were able, to right every wrong, to
pay fair days wages for fair days
work and pointed out their drawbacks in
connection with the railroad companies.
The principal outcome Of the meeting,
was the appointing of committee Of six,
three on the part Of the workmen and
three on the part Of the operators, to as
certain what were the prices being paid
for the different kinds of work at each
mine in the district, to compare such
prices with the prices agreed upon by an
executive board some two years ago, and
to re-establish the prices Of the above
named board, which appear to have been
satisfactory at that time.
l remain yours respectfully,
DUsKY DIAMOND.

FRIENDS OF FREEDOM.
lAIR-"Bruce's Address"


Friends of freedom! ye who stand
With no weapon in your hand,
Save n purpose stern and grand,
All men to set free;
Welcome! freedom stands in need
Of true men in thought and deed
Men who have this only creed,
That they wiH not flee!
Though we were but two or three,
Sure of triumph we should be;
We our promised land shall see,
Though the way seems long;
Ev'ry fearless word we speak -
Makes sims stronghold bend and creak-
Tyranny is always weak,
Truth is young and strong!
All the Labor heroes Vast,
Who have sanctified the past,
Bore true witness to the last,
Of their glorious fight;
We can never be forlorn,
For our Cause is onward borne
By all toilers, who have sworn
Justice, Truth and Right.

NO PROSPECT or IMMEDIATE RELIEF FROM THE

OUT THE COUNTRY.
To-day, was st. Swithfn's day, and, according to
the old Scotch Eroverb the tair weather will be
followed by forty days without rain. The signal
service does not go TO that extent, however, and
predicts fair weather only for the nexty twenty
TOUR hours. The temperature to-day was not so
trying as that OF the past two days. The Their
mometer this morning at O'Clock registered "A
degrees, and the maximum at O'Clock was only
81 degrees. Yesterday the temperature at the
same hours was 81 and 90 degrees. The
unusual early morning heat led 70 the expecta-
ton that yesterday would be the hottest day Of
the season, but the record was not within half O
degree OF Wednesday, which has the distinction OF
being the hottest day OF the season. At O'Clock
the thermometer was "a degrees, the same
as this morning, but in the afternoon the mercury
erawied up to 93.5 degrees There have been but
four days this summer when the thermometer
registered above 80 degrees, according to the Sig
nal Office records On the 1Tth OF June Il regis
tered 81 degrees and fraction over and the 18th
OF June 90 and a fraction. The other two days
were Wednesday and Thursday OF this week.
The heat is very general over nearly the whole
country, and there Is but little prospect Of
relief. The indications are that the temperature
Will remain nearly stationary here, with variable
winds, mostly SOutheriy.

thought It proper TO display IL the occasion OF
the anniversary OF the Nations birth. The request
was renewed, and was again UNDECIDED The cou-
mittee remarked that they would take IL upon
themselves TO remove IT. Then jackson appeared
on the scene. and informed the committee that II
they attempted to 1t would be at the risk OF their
lives, but before there was an opportunity for the
committee to use force Mrs. jackson went up
stairs and took down the emblem
